Oh Dianne, you are the very first person to post in the new format. There are more bells and whistles to come, but at least for now, we're back together. Phew!
How's your new degree moving along?

One more thing....has anyone else noticed that you can see the re-defining life thread and the nabbw threads when you are NOT logged in, but they disappear when you are logged in? It is the opposite of what is was before.

I'm so glad we're back up and running. It's good to see everyone again.
Dotsie, I'm sure things are still being worked out. And I'm sorry to raise any issues too soon. But one problem I have is that my eyes are very sensitive, I cannot work for long periods of time with a white background. In the old forum, we were able to change the background colours within the preference options. Do you know if we will be able to that eventually with this new setup? Right now I have to use sunglasses to stay on this site for longer than a few minutes.

I read your instructions about changing the size - that worked great! Makes a huge difference, and diminishes some of the problem with the white background.
Thanks JJ!

Another option, if there's too much white all the time, is to highlight long post, giving making the text white on a blue background, however small the background is per post.

Aging eyes here. Blue on white does not do it for me.
Making the type bigger does not change the details on the left which are slimmer.
I may use my husbands software to change the whole thing. He having visual impairment uses all sorts of clever things.Even being read to by the computer.wont use that of course.
I am happy to see you all again. Mountain ash

Dotsie, I don't remember what the default color scheme was, but I do remember that we were able to go into our preferences and change it individually - we had a choice of several different color schemes. Mine was a green and yellow combination, the easiest on my eyes of the choices available.
That sort of thing should be fairly easy to add. I think the color schemes come in pre-programmed modules and the techies can just add the ones they want to a drop-down list in the preferences section.

BTW, I've been online here most of the morning (hopping away every now and then to do housework), and am noticing changes happening on the fly. It's looking really good, Dotsie!

I agree Dee, I have maneuvered around and I really like the new facelift. The little minor bugs will get ironed out. Congratulations Dotsie for making the site a much nicer place. You work so hard to give us a beautiful cybehome. Thank You so much. Isn't change wonderful?

Here is a link to your first post (if you meant YOUR OWN???)
MA FIRST POST
How I found it was to LEFT click (but not release the mouse) on your name and scroll down the list till it landed on VIEW POST. Then I simply went to your first post shown by the "numbers" at the bottom of the page. Like YOURS shows post 1-82 or something like that. Hope this helps!

I notice the pics are beginning to cover up the white space on the right side. The more I am here, the more I like it. I remember it took me a while to figure out how to use the old formate. This will be easier for us older (oops, sorry) I mean more seasoned users , if we just keep posting.

I'm glad to be back. I must admit I find the easy access WITHOUT registering almost abit too open.
As a user that likes our group, I would prefere some features only accessible to people who make the effort to register and log in. ie. like certain photo-sharing, etc.

Gims, where did you get that gremlin? Now THAT made me laugh!!!
So did "swamp links". Maybe we should have a contest to see what crazy definitions we can come up with for a swamp link.

Ladies, I'm just reading all of this thread. I made notes and will address these concerns during the week. I can't do anything about it on the weekend. Tech support is closed on weekends, as it should be. One of the reasons I have to do these updates is because I pay for tech support. Unless I update to newer versions, I lose the tech support. Trust me, I don't want to lose that. We'd be up the creek without a paddle if that happened. The reason there is white space on the sides, and the reason the forum doesn't go all the way out to the sides as you scroll down, is because we now have buttons to other parts of BWS, www.NABBW.com, and our sponsors, on the sides at the top - which is vital. Afterall, that's who pays the bills. So, sorry about that. I will see if we can change the background color which should help. Thanks to those who commented that they liked it. I apprecaite it.
